Cecillia Bartoli singing Agiatata Da Due Venti by Vivaldi

This piece is actually ridiculous. It is so virtuosic, it doesn't sound that different from Vivaldi's violin writing.

Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring with the reconstruction of Nijinsky's original choreography, along with the reconstruction of original costume sketches and set design.
